Adopted by Lin!

Chapter 4

I walk into my house and hurry and pack my bag before Mike, Luke and the other 2 Johnson girls come back from school. Unfortunately, it wasn't fast enough. Mike was flirting with Lexi and when he saw my bag, he said, " Why do you have so much stuff?"

" she's going for 2 days and 3 nights. " Lexi replies before dragging me out and around the corner where her car was parked. Lexi drove to her house as we blasted music and sang.

Lexi loves my voice. She always tells me that I should go onto Broadway or onto movies and TV. I don't believe that I could until she showed me a video of me singing. Ever since then, she has been pushing me to audition but I could never bring myself to do it. I don't want to be famous, just in case previous familys see.

" K, we are here. What time are you planning on leaving?" says Lexi. Her parents were out of town again so her nanny was watching over us. Lexi's parents are very rich and while she doesnt live in some huge mansion, her house is far from tiny. She has a nanny and 4 floors in her house.

" I don't know. Maybe I could leave around 3 in the morning or so." I say, planning to go at night.

" No, go in the morning so you get rest. " She says and I agree with her logic so I make plans to leave at 7:30 ish.

We put our bags down and ran to her basement. She puts on the Hamilton soundtrack as we talk. I actually really liked it so we put it on replay.  She talks about how eventually it will be me on broadway eventually. And we began to plan my acceptance speech when she noticed that it is almost 4 in the morning. So, we go to bed.

When I wake up it's 8, an hour later than when I was going to leave. I run to wake up Lexi and we make our famous sleepover breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes and milkshakes. Hers strawberry and mine vanilla.

It's 9:30 when I decide I have to leave. I tell Lexi this. And she starts crying which made me start to cry. But soon enough, I had to leave. I grab my bag and make my way out. I walk towards the nearest park and when I get there, it's already 11:00 so I sit down on the bench and take out a banana. Most of my bag had food and the rest had my phone, charger and 2 books with a couple clothes. I read and eat my banana, when the stupid rain falls. 

 I decide to build a shelter with my bags. Surprisingly, the bags and bench make a good shelter so I decide to sleep there tonight. But, for now,I had no idea what to do. So,once the rain stopped,  I got my bags and went on a walk. I knew how to build the shelter so it would be fine. 

But, I eventually got lost. I was just wondering down the street when a man with long hair and brown eyes came up to me. 

" Hi there. Are you lost?" He says. 

I stare at him, wondering what he wanted. Money? I didn't have any. 

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you" he says.

" That's what someone who wanted to hurt me would say" I reply and he laughs. 

" I promise. Look, I'll even buy you lunch. I was on my way to lunch as well, so you can join me. " he says. I think for a little. He seems okay. But, he is a stranger. But, he will buy me food. My stomach growled at the thought of food and he chuckled. 

"Okay, but if you try anything, I have a strong set of lungs and I am not afraid to use them" I say warily. 

" Wait, do you know who I am?" He says, maybe expecting me to know him. 

"No" I said, " Why? Should I?"

" Should you? Good question. I don't know. But, my name is Lin, okay?" he says.

" I'm Emma" I say.

He leads me to a restaurant around the corner. As we eat lunch, we talk. I learn that his full name is Lin-Manuel Miranda and he has a wife and a son named Sebastian who is only a couple months old. 

He learns about my history with the foster care system and about Lexi and why I ran away. 

 When we finish lunch, he asks if I had twitter or Facebook. I said yes to both. So, he explains that we can keep in touch through that. He asks if I could give him my social medias and I do. He says, let me tag myself, as if he was hiding something. 

" Do you want to meet again?" he asks and of course I nod because free meals are awesome!!

" how about Lunch tomorrow?" He says, and I nod again. 

" Well, bye, Ms. Emma" He waves. 

" Bye, Mr. Miranda" I wave back and he smirks as I go back to my bench and create my shelter. Inside it, I called Lexi. We talk for a while before I forgot to go onto Lin's Twitter to see what he was hiding. 

I pull it up and my eyes widen. It can't be? Did I just-? OMG!
